I wonder if the folks who keep saying this about CDROM.NLM have tried the 
updates. I'm using CDROM.NLM from CDUP3.EXE to mount an encyclopedia, and a 
brain physiology atlas, both with LOTS of files and subdirectories. Mount time 
is less than 10 seconds each. Performance is GREAT. Memory useage is no 
greater than a harddrive of the same size. 3rd party solutions are more 
appropriate if you need to mount a lot of CDs, change CDs a lot, or map 
multiple CDs to a single drive letter, but if you only need to mount a few CDs 
that will stay mounted most of the time, try CDROM.NLM. I bet you'll like it.
